Some points we discuss:
-Triathlon teaches us to not quit when things get hard
-Being on a team is a great way to get support and elevate you game
-Finding ways to "do good" by being involved in the community, charities,  serving family and team family in the best ways possible
-Triathlon helps us rediscover the "kid-like" feeling again

What is your sweet spot? It is where you find your optimal balance with the most effectiveness. I share an example of sweet spot training in my cyclying. It is the place where you are uncomfortable but you can still manage.

I offer  three ways to strive to get into your sweet spot.
-Take the action, and then sort out later
-Be willing to be uncomfortable. Figure out what discomfort you can handle but still manage.
-You don't have to find your sweet spot, but it does lead to gradification. It helps shape your life with your unique abilities .

It is a constant process to find balance. It take trial and error, and using constructive self talk to get to our most effective self.

"Louder the Words" by Todd Henry is the book I referred to. Finding the sweet spot in our lives

This week I discuss the idea of thinking bigger.
What questions do you ask yourself? 
Do you ask what we are capable or do you just ask how to do it?
I share how triathlons helped me learn how to find out what I am capable of, and how I use that experience to help me in other areas of my life.
Once we have a vision, then we can start working on reaching it.
We most likely won't know the "how" when we start, but we will figure it out as we go.
One of the biggest thing about achieving what once seems impossible to possible is that we make peace with the unknown...I don't know, YET.

I got some of the ideas from James Wedmore (www.jameswedmoretraining.com) and his podcast "The Mind Your Business" podcast. He shares such great insight.

Being human provides us with different experiences and circumstances, which brings many highs and many lows.

I share 5 steps we can take with understand the head or tail ( 50/50 concept)
Some of the ideas include understanding and allowing our emotions, and not trying to resist, avoid, or "fix" our emotions. Becoming aware that there are some emotions that get us stuck.
